I was looking for a tire that is cheap and holds up decent. I only use this tire on the pavement and easy trails. If I am hitting the hard stuff I will put on different tires. I already have 1000+ miles on these and they are holding up fine.

This tire has good off road traction in everything but mud but, it's on road performance (compared to the Shinko 244) is completely lacking when it comes to cornering confidence.Higher or lower, the PSI's = it doesn't matter.The feeling is like being on loose stones, as the tires side knobs flex so much, they'll literally walk you right off the road.

I'll be back to the 244's when these wear out.The IRC GP series, is on par with the 244 but, too expensive, these days.
